Donna Adelson DEMANDS To Testify Her Innocence In Dan Markel Case
Most defendants avoid the stand. Donna Adelson wants to run to it.
As her trial begins, Donna has told her legal team she intends to testify — against the advice of experts, against the odds, and against common sense. She believes she can sway a jury with her words. But will her confidence come across as arrogance?
In this conversation with psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott, we dig into the psychology of Donna Adelson — why someone accused of orchestrating a murder-for-hire plot might be desperate to speak, how overconfidence and even age-related decline can intensify narcissistic traits, and why this move could be her undoing.
But the trial isn’t just about Donna. The Adelson family has collapsed around her. Charlie is in prison for life. Wendi is keeping her distance. And Dan Markel’s teenage sons — now old enough to understand every headline — are left to carry a legacy of tragedy and fractured loyalty.
We explore how denial, rationalization, and control function inside families like this — and how the ripple effects stretch far beyond the courtroom. For Donna, the choice to testify could shape her fate. For her grandchildren, the challenge will be building an identity free from their family’s toxic name.
This is more than a murder trial. It’s a generational reckoning.
Subscribe now to follow every twist in the Donna Adelson case and the fallout it leaves behind.
